~Dirty Birds~

We have a nest and a family of swallows. I’m pretty sure they are swallows anyway. Here, the two adults are building and exchanging mud beak duty for Sunday Stills.

Here is the exchange.

Dirty but a cutie.

Dirty Bird Packing on the first round.

2 Dirty Birds

One left and now the packing begins.

The new one is in now.

Time to get to work

The new Dirty Bird notices me.

I think this one is cute too.

It’s amazing how they work.

Making that nest.

They do this very quickly.

…and very precisely.

You can see here Dirty Bird’s beak.

Here a good shot of the packing routine.

And finally another exchange.

I just love the animal life here *minus the rattlers..ugh don’t like the snakes, nope*. Every year this nest comes back. I am not too keen on the workings of the swallow’s nest, but each year I get one right above the doorway…mud and all.

I love your photos. We get swallows, house martins and swifts every year here in Yorkshire, England. Sometimes they have two lots of chicks. . Nests are built on top the burglar alarm bell, the guttering, inside the stables and the barn.They are very difficult to tell apart unless you see the whole body close up.I think it’s the swallows that prefer to be inside the stable and barn.
